BTD wins BBML account
Business Travel Direct has secured the travel management account for Balfour Beatty Management Limited (BBML).
Business Travel Direct is providing BBML, a professional services company, with a dynamic online booking facility for hotels, rail travel and flights, including no frills carriers.
BTD said the client, which has 400 staff in offices in Derby, Edinburgh, Glasgow, London, Manchester and Stockton-on-Tees, had specific requirements regarding hotel bookings which included the ability to continue to use its own negotiated corporate rates at frequently used hotels and an online bill back facility.
BBML staff travel extensively by train so Business Travel Direct has added an online rail booking facility.
The account will be handled from Business Travel Direct’s head office in Uxbridge, west London.
Keith Foulser, financial controller, Balfour Beatty Management, said: “We anticipate that our business travel will grow by up to 12% in the next 18 months so it is essential that we have a workable solution in place which can handle our existing needs and grow with us.”
